I was reading this list of the 50 greatest sci-fi movies of the last 50 years, and it was all fairly predictable. There’s only a couple that I’d disagree with, but there were a few that would have made the list in place of them if I were compiling it myself, and I realised my additions were less mainstream or less critically acclaimed than were on there.
What guilty-pleasure sci-fi movies would you recommend?
For starters, ones I’ve watched a bunch of times would be:
Dredd (2012)
Pandorum (2009)
Lockout (2012)
Monsters (2010)
The Arrival with Charlie Sheen. I do enjoy watching my DVD copy of this one.
The Iron Giant are War games are also a popular one for me.
R.O.T.O.R. is my ultimate guilty pleasure.
Oh and there is this movie Pulse (1988) OMG that movie is amazing lol
Ok I’ll stop.
I’d never heard of The Arrival. I’ve just read that Sheen’s character is called Zane Zaminsky which immediately gives me an idea of the quality of the movie, and guarantees I’ll watch it.
Pulse was an odd one. The only thing I remember about it is the shower scene, for reasons other than I would typically remember a shower scene.
The Arrival is really pretty good popcorn flick. There is a sequel, but eh not worth it.
